Tik Tok is home to a new kind of shopping culture. Community Commerce blends community, entertainment, and shopping that makes product discovery so unique on Tik Tok. The Tik Tok community is having a catalytic and culture-defining impact on modern retail. We are looking for passionate and talented people to join our ecommerce research team.

Responsibilities:

• Work with stakeholders to identify strategic questions that inform the E-commerce experience, balancing research objectives with design opportunities to shape the end-to-end consumer journey.
• Own the design-and-research planning process: select and tailor research methods to the question, timeline, and resourcing, and simultaneously translate findings into design concepts, workflows, and prototype.
• Design and conduct research (mainly quantitative and some qualitative) and synthesize findings into practical, actionable insights and design recommendations that influence product and experience strategy.
• Initiate foundational/exploratory research and maintain long-term trackers, benchmarking against relevant industries, to surface long-term possibilities and inform future design directions.
• Support and collaborate with team members to provide technical support on quantitative workstreams, including robust survey design, end-to-end data processing, and statistical analysis.
